Today's News, April 8-9, 2025 10.04.2025

IN POLITICAL NEWS   1) Justice Johnny, seeing the court system slip out of his grasp, finally stepped in and scotched the court order requiring the return of a dangerous MS-13 toadpoacher. In perhaps an even bigger, 7-2 victory, the Supes ruled against an order to bring back thousands of federal employees. And yet another victory as an appeals court said DOGE can access "sensitive" information.  ...

Today's News, April 6-7, 2025 07.04.2025

IN POLITICAL NEWS   1) And just like that, President Trump reset the trade map , as over 50 countries have contacted the White House to open trade talks. Victor Davis Hanson argues that Trump is righting a 50 year wrong in a "just" trade war. That stemmed from (as Mike Allen and I note in A Patriot's History of the United Stats ) a "golden accident" where, for the first time in world history a sin...

Today's News, April 3-5, 2025 05.04.2025

IN POLITICAL NEWS   1) The Senate, with gol old Yertle, Tom Collins, and MurCowSki joined by Randy Paul, voted down Trump's tariff on Canada. Now the House DemoKKKrats are trying to force a vote. Overall the rates on imported goods will be 10% but on Chy-na, 54% as noted below. President Trump is doing nothing short of rebuilding and revitalizing American industry after decades of global embezzlem...

Today's News, April 1-2, 2025 02.04.2025

IN POLITICAL NEWS   1) The big election news was that the Republicans won two FL special elections for the U.S. House , while losing a Supreme Court election in WI. But they also won a constitutional amendment in WI requiring photo ID to vote . Of course, the doomspoogers were all over the WI loss, dismissing the FL victories as either not a big enough margin or as "they were R anyway." Not the wa...

Today's News, March 26-31, 2025 31.03.2025

IN POLITICAL NEWS   1) President Trump told the RINO/Neocon/Hoax News Media to stick it where the gaseous orb don't shine, and that he is not firing SecDef Pete Hegseth over a media hoax.   2) A federal judge has temporarily halted the shutdown of Voice of America . Sorry spoogies. All you idiots are doing is postponing the inevitable and giving your flying monkeys false hope. These agencies WILL...

Today's News, March 25-26, 2025 26.03.2025

IN POLITICAL NEWS   1) Two dozen federal awareds to Minnesota have been paused.   2) President Trump has signed what we hope is the first of several election security acts that will begin to move the U.S. onto one day voting. This executive order will prevent illegals from voting.   3) Big legal win as the Ninth Circuit (remember how bad this was before Trump named a bunch of judges to this?) said...

Today's News, March 22-24, 2025 24.03.2025

NOTE: Today is my last day with Stanley. He goes to the vet for his appointment with the Rainbow Bridge tomorrow. He's in pain much of the time with bad arthritis, cannot walk but a couple of steps without falling over, is partially blind and has doggie dementia. He has been a pain in the neck on the one hand and my best friend on the other. We used to walk miles together. One time he climbed up i...

Today's News, March 20-21, 2025 21.03.2025

IN POLITICAL NEWS   1) DemoKKKrat moderate Ruy Teixeira asks "How Deep is the Hole the DemoKKKrats are in?" And my answer is "about the size of Jupiter and growing." He is one of the few to understand they have real fundamental problems appealing to any but the porkpumper woke toids. He intuitively knows that, I think, the party's problems can only be fixed (if at all) by a full repentence, and I...

Today's News, March 18-19, 2025 20.03.2025

IN POLITICAL NEWS   1) President Trump and Pootie-Poot had a great conversation where they committed to getting a peace deal done in Ukraine, improve trade, and cooperate in settling down the Middle East.   2) Thousands more JFK files were released showing, largely, nothing. Oswald still killed JFK. The general reaction is "Why were these ever classified?"except that JFK called Rutabaga a traitor...

Today's News, March 13-17, 2025 18.03.2025

IN POLITICAL NEWS   *This was not included in my video, but I forgot to mention that Stephen Miller outsmarted the federal judges and shipped off over 240 criminal Venezuelans before a judge could stop it. They were over international waters and have been deposited in El Salvador where President Bukele has welcomed them into his prison. The judge had a fit ordering the planes to be turned around s...

Today's News, March 8-10, 2025 11.03.2025

IN POLITICAL NEWS   I 1) In a society that actually cherished the law, this would be a very big deal. It looks like Rutabaga didn't even sign much of his legislation or executive orders. Ever. All but one in four years were signed by an "autopen." So technically does that make them all illegitimate? Even more interesting, the only doc he DID sign was his withdrawal from the DemoKKKrat race. Hence,...

Today's News, March 6-7, 2025 08.03.2025

IN POLITICAL NEWS   1) Just hours after the Supreme Court refused to overturn a lower court's ruling that the Trump administration had to pay $1.9 billion on USAID work already done, the Court of Appeals said that Trump indeed had the authority to fire Hampton Dellinger in his position in the Office of the Special Counsel. Big win. And another big win as this federal judge said that Trump can move...

Today's News, March 4-5, 2025 05.03.2025

IN POLITICAL NEWS   1) In his first major speech to congress---in truth, an SOTU even though he wasn't serving consecutive terms--- President Trump correctly boasted about having sealed off the border, highlighted the DOGE findings and read from a ridiculous list of money from USAID, noted that we had millions of people over the age of 100 getting Social Security, announced a new office of shipbul...

Today's News, March 1-3, 2025 04.03.2025

IN POLITICAL NEWS   1) Here is an interview by Bill "Martinette" Maher of Rahm (not Tommy) Emmanuel who concedes the DemoKKkrats have major governance problems, but again, he avoids the real realities: they hate America, they hate traditional marriage, they don't like children (unless they are in vitro adopted by homosexuals), and most of all they change. 2) After a voter roll purge in North Carol...

Today's News, February 25-26, 2025 27.02.2025

IN POLITICAL NEWS   1) These libs are pretty funny. Noah Smith (NoCommonSense) has insisted DemoKKKrats can win but they must become "deficit hawks" (Yeah, how'd that work out for Republicans all those years?) and ditch progressive woke ideas. That's like cutting off both legs. Oh, and embrace voter ID. Please. Let's do that. Matthew Yglesias basically wants more "resist" and "get loud" at town ha...

Today's News, February 21-24, 2025 24.02.2025

IN POLITICAL NEWS   1) President Trump wasted no time in getting rid of Barack Obama's generals, firing the entire Joint Chiefs of Staff. He replaced the chairman with a 3-star general, leapfrogging several 4-stars who were viewed as wokesters.   2) Leave it to James Carville, the Ragin' Cajun to be wrong again. One day after he said MAGA land would "collapse" in 30 days, President Trump came in a...

Today's News, February 18-20, 2025 20.02.2025

IN POLITICAL NEWS   1) Probably the biggest news of the day, though not very sexy, is that President Trump dropped an Executive Order giving the White House direct control over so called "independent" agencies, such as the SEC, FCC, and so on. This is ENTIRELY CORRECT. No agency in government should be outside the direct control of the executive, unless expressly placed under the DIRECT CONTROL of...

TODAY'S NEWS, February 15-17, 2025 18.02.2025

IN POLITICAL NEWS   1) This autho r thinks that the judicial resistance will fail. I agree, but I think he places way too much faith in the legislative branch doing anything. In six weeks, they have not done a single thing, passed a single bill, or impeached a single judge. Some federal judges are resisting the resist. This one said DOGE could access federal information systems.   2) Meanwhile blu...

Today's News, February 13-14, 2025 15.02.2025

IN POLITICAL NEWS   1) President Trump and Vladimir Putin (Ol' Pootey-poot) have agreed to negotiate the end of the Uke War. Trump is seeking a three-way deal to denuclearize Russia and China . Reagan did this is you recall. Gorby thought he had him: Gorby proposed a 50% cut in all nukes, but with no SDI. Reagan countered: "Well, how about 100%? Only week keep SDI." Gorby said no, Reagan literally...

Today's News, February 22-12, 2025 12.02.2025

IN POLITICAL NEWS   1) This is just sexy right here: "Terrified staff left hysterical as well-drilled DOGE nerds storm hyper 'woke' Department of Education." Oh, and now it's official as Trump is signing an executive order putting DOGE in charge of federal downsizing. This will reportedly empower DOGE to "toss entire agencies" and run the government with only "essential" employees. 2) Trump's FEMA...

Today's News, February 8-10, 2025 10.02.2025

IN POLITICAL NEWS   1) There will be a battle of the judges for a while until or unless President Trump just goes all Andrew Johnson on them and directly violates one of these orders and says, in essence, "Impeach me." If Congress doesn't, all this ends. This judge, meanwhile, refused to block DOGE's access to the Labor Departmen t. As I keep saying, they are moving sooooooo fast that libs can't m...

Today's News, February 7, 2025 07.02.2025

IN POLITICAL NEWS   1) In truly blockbuster news, DOGE's USAID releases showed that the DemoKKKrat hive Politico was propped up by millions of dollars of USAID money. The media attempted to portray this as only a few thousand in "subscriptions." Politico received $27 million from gubment agencies in the Rutabaga years . Seriously? Even the older swimsuit editions of Sports Illustrated ---you know...

Today's News, February 4-5, 2026 05.02.2025

IN POLITICAL NEWS   1) It literally only took days for the threat of President Trump's tariffs to force change in Canada and Mexico . Both nation's leaders called Trump, backed down, agreed to engage in substantial beefing up of border security. The 10% tariff on Chy-na remains in place and thus Xi hustled to get a meeing with Trump . Meanwhile, El Salvador, with its brilliant young president Nayi...

Today's News, January 30-February 3, 2025 03.02.2025

IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) A tragic collision between an Army Blackhawk helicopter and a passenger jet from Wichita, Kansas with numerous skating competitors on board left all dead. Over 60 are presumed dead at this point. Early indicators are that the air controller's station was down a man . Meanwhile, President Trump said the Rutabaga administration "ran the FAA right into the ground," and certainly...

Today's News, January 28-29, 2025 29.01.2025

IN POLITICAL NEWS   1) President Trump is kicking ass and cleaning house at U.S. AID agencies that did not immediately follow his executive orders . Good. Clean out this viper's nest. We don't need to spend that money anyway. He also ordered the DoD to build an "Iron Dome" missile defense system such as Israel has (that used Ronald Reagan's SDI tech). Trump also issued an executive order banning c...
